Never try to charge a frozen battery
– risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking. At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.

this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
